Image to SVG tools
SVG converter tools for logos, scans, sketches, and web graphics
Use iLoveSVG as a broad image to SVG workspace: vectorize raster artwork, tune trace settings, preview the result, and export editable SVG output for design, craft, web, and document workflows.
For exact format intent, use the dedicated PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP converter pages. The homepage is the hub for choosing the right SVG tool, comparing workflows, and finishing common copy, download, preview, and layer-edit tasks.
Best for
Choose “Lineart - Accurate” for crisp strokes and clean fills. Lower curve tolerance for detail, raise turd size to kill dust.
Use “Logo - Clean shapes” for smoother curves and fewer nodes. Adjust threshold to control what becomes solid.
How to convert an image to SVG
Fast path: upload → preset → tweak → export- 1Upload a supported imageDrag and drop or use the picker. Oversized raster files may be compressed on your device before backend conversion when that can preserve a usable result.
- 2Pick a preset that matches your artLineart for inks, Logo for clean shapes, Photo Edge for contour extraction.
- 3Adjust settingsTune threshold, curve tolerance, turd size, and turn policy. Advanced setting changes update locally until you click Convert or Update preview.
- 4Choose line color and backgroundKeep transparency or inject a solid background color. Invert when needed.
- 5Download or copy SVGExport a scalable vector you can edit, recolor, and embed anywhere.
Settings explained
Small tweaks make a huge difference. Use these to control detail, smoothness, and cleanup.
None for logos and crisp inks. Edge mode for photos and paintings when you want outlines.
Controls what counts as ink. Higher includes lighter pixels, lower keeps only darker strokes.
Lower preserves detail. Higher smooths curves and reduces SVG size.
Removes tiny specks and scanner dust so your SVG looks intentional.
Decides how ambiguous corners resolve. Useful when corners look “wrong” in the trace.
Pick any line color. Invert for white ink. Keep transparency or add a solid background.
In Edge mode: blur reduces noise; edge boost amplifies contours before tracing.
Performance and limits
- Max file size
- 30 MB per image
- Resolution guard
- ~30.0 MP or 8,000 px per side
- Processing model
- Upload, preset, convert, then edit locally
- Large files
- Auto-compress on-device when possible
This SVG converter only rate limits backend raster tracing and server-side conversion work. Preview rendering, copy, local download generation, and setting changes that only update React state are not rate limited.
Backend conversions allow up to 120 conversions per minute, 400 conversions every 5 minutes, 1500 conversions per hour, and 3000 conversions per day for the same connection and browser profile.
Troubleshooting and tips
Downscale or crop unused borders.
We try to compress locally. If it fails, resize and re-upload.
Backend conversion limit or concurrency protection. Wait for the Retry-After time, then try again.
Lower threshold or disable invert.
Increase curve tolerance slightly.
Raise turd size or try Scan Cleanup presets.
Image to SVG vectorizer
Free SVG converter for PNG, JPG, WebP, logos, scans, and creator artwork
Use the home converter when you want one flexible image-to-SVG workflow with searchable presets, backend speed tags, advanced trace controls, editable layer metadata, output history, copy/download actions, and full-screen preview. Uploaded images are processed for conversion and are not stored after conversion.
Best for
- General image to SVG searches like png to svg, jpg to svg, convert to svg, and image to svg converter.
- Creators preparing logos, icons, classroom graphics, Etsy files, stickers, or small-business artwork.
- Users who want presets first, then advanced controls only when the source image needs cleanup.
Settings to try
- Start with Lineart - Accurate or Lineart - Bold for simple artwork.
- Use preset search for Cricut, vinyl, sticker, scan, logo, photo edge, layered, or transparent workflows.
- Use Live Preview edits for layer styling and Click to Convert settings for threshold, cleanup, trace detail, and layers.
Useful limits
- Raster-to-SVG tracing is server-assisted and protected by upload, dimension, rate, and concurrency limits.
- Photos and busy backgrounds may need outline, scan, or cleanup presets instead of a simple trace.
- No AI background removal is claimed; color and background controls work within the supported SVG/raster pipeline.

Frequently asked questions
What file limits apply?
Supported image uploads are capped at 30 MB, about 30 MP, and 8000 px on the longest side. Larger raster files may be compressed on-device before conversion when possible.
Does this tool have usage limits?
Only backend conversion work is rate limited. Preview rendering, copy, local download generation, and setting changes that only update the current React state are not rate limited because they do not use server conversion compute. Backend conversions, such as raster image tracing, allow up to 120 conversions per minute, 400 conversions every 5 minutes, 1500 conversions per hour, and 3000 conversions per day for the same connection and browser profile.
What happens with files over 25 MB?
The app tries local compression first for oversized raster files. If the image cannot be reduced without too much quality loss, resize or crop it and upload again.
Why do I see “Server busy” with Retry-After?
We cap concurrency to keep the site stable. When the queue is full the server responds 429 with Retry-After, and the app retries automatically.
Can this handle photos?
Yes. Use the Photo Edge presets to extract contours and stylized linework.
